Google Earth vs Google Earth Pro. NE 1 recommend one over the other?

[goverton]

Just wonder if the pro is worth the money over the free version for TH'ing?

I have a pro subscription for work, it's fun but probably not worth the money for TH-ing.

You can calculate areas in sq miles very quickly (or any other measurement), print larger maps, add demographic data, record information, etc. but at the end of the day the satellite photos aren't any higher resolution or fresher than free google earth.

If you just want the measurement tools, use freemaptools.com for radius around a point, area calculation, etc.
